Mike Tyson never lifted weights
« on: January 04, 2016, 09:09:18 PM »
&feature=related

At 6:40 Tyson specifically says several times he never did any weight training and stuck to calesthenics. I'm sure I read stuff one here about some crazy bench press weight he supposedly did as well as his "arm" routine, which now must be seen as total bullshit. Besides the tremendous punching power he also had one of the top physiques in boxing IMO, impressive if he was a naturally built guy who just did body weight exercises.

He's a genetic marvel either way.

If you train 6 hours a day as a pro boxer you are going to be in good shape, weights or not.

Pretty obvious he did gear, even moreso later in his career. Anywho I'm sure he did all kinds of exercises, based on what he needed to improve. He had the heart of a lion no doubt. It's a shame he stoped taking his training seriously after cus died. After that he was just running on rage.

I think he was on shit after he got out of prison in 1995.  He was shredded against McNeely.  Looked great (no homo).

It's possible that he didn't juice before that.  He was huge and strong as a bull at age 12-13.

didn't he once mention that more muscle doesn't add to the punch?

I don't agree with that. A heavyweight will always cause more damage than a flyweight

Speed is a more important factor than mass. But mass is still a factor.

You do realise that is in reference to the forces acting upon the moving object, and isn't directly transferable to the forces exchanged on impact?

Would you rather fight a prime 220LB Tyson.... or a 145LB version of Mike Tyson?

Same skills. Just a 75lbs difference. Weight is the only altered variable.

220lbs of course, I like a challenge  :D

My point wasn't about Tyson, just about how you can't determine impact forces in a fight from that one equation.

Would you rather take a Tyson hook to the chin, or be hit by an Airbus a380 travelling at 1mph? Now ask yourself which took the greater force to move at their respective speeds.

He lifted weights, in fact, there use to be older video of him lifting on youtube, but they pulled it down. And guys in his training camps have mentioned weight training too. Usually when these guys talk about not lifting, it actually means closer to "no set/structured weight lifting program" or "I just fool around with them a bit". Meanwhile, the "just fool around with them" could still be a decent time spent lifting them.

Also that was shown in 1988, which means it might of been shot 1986 - 1987, and his training program changed in the years following.
